Barkeb at Home. —Barker made up his mind that he would give his wife a splendid surprise by spending the evening at home, and after supper he settled himself down far a cosy time in the bosom of bis family. He had no more than comfortably fixed himself when his wife asked him if his friends didn’t want him any longer, and that was why he had concluded to get acquainted with his family. Then his mother-in-law asked him if be had exhausted his credit, and was obliged to stay at home. The hired girl asked him if be was sick, and proposed to make some catnip tea. One of the neighbors came in and wanted to know if he hod been having any trouble, and was afraid of the sheriff. And Barker says all that occurred in twenty minutes, and he knows, for in exactly half an hour he was down town again.
